Hockenheimring
The Hockenheimring is another of Europe’s premier racing circuits, in the state Baden-Württemberg in the South-West of Germany. The heritage of the Hockenheimring takes back to 1932 but the track has undergone multiple redesigns since then. The most recent and probably most drastic one was in 2002, when a dramatically shortened new layout eliminated the long straightaways through the forest. It has been the home of the F1 German Grand Prix for many years (although alternating with the Nürburgring).
It is a rather technical circuit with a mix of high-speed corners with tight and technical hairpins. Notable sections and corners include the Nordkurve (the fast right-hander T1); the long, sweeping left-handed Parabolika (T5) that charges into the track’s tightest hairpin named the "Spitzkehre" (T6); and another tight left-hander Sachs (T12) that makes up part of the stadium section.
The Hockenheimring is also the circuit where unfortunately the two-times Scottish World Champion James Clarck lost his life, during a Formula Two racing accident in 1968. At the time of his death, he had won more Grand Prix races (25) and achieved more Grand Prix pole positions (33) than any other driver.
And then there is the famous fist fight between Nelson Piquet and Eliseo Salazar during the GP of 1982 (see video in the links below).
